Restore Knee Stability with Bangalore's Trusted Orthopedic Specialist

A Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injury can be a life-altering event, making you feel like your knee is sagging or giving way. Whether it's a sports injury or a dashboard impact from a vehicle accident, PCL Reconstruction Surgery in Bangalore with Dr. Pradyumna provides a definitive solution. Using minimally invasive arthroscopy, we focus on restoring your natural knee mechanics so you can return to the activities you love.

PCL Reconstruction Cost in Bangalore & Insurance Support

Transparency is our priority. We bridge the gap where most hospitals fail by providing clear financial guidance.

  • Average Cost: The PCL reconstruction surgery cost in Bangalore ranges from Rs. 85,000 to Rs. 1,75,000.
  • Factors Affecting Cost: Choice of graft (Autograft vs. Allograft), hospital room category, and specific implants used.
  • Insurance & TPA: We provide full assistance with Cashless Insurance claims (Star Health, HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, etc.).
  • 0% EMI Plans: Flexible payment options are available for non-insured patients.

Understanding the Procedure: PCL Reconstruction vs. PCL Repair

Not every PCL tear is treated the same. Dr. Pradyumna evaluates the grade of your injury to determine the best path:

  • PCL Reconstruction: Replacing a severely torn ligament with a new graft (usually hamstring or quad tendon).
  • PCL Avulsion Repair: If the ligament has pulled a piece of bone away, we perform a PCL Avulsion Fixation to reattach the bone directly.
  • Arthroscopic Technique: We use a high-definition camera to visualize the joint, ensuring the new graft is placed with millimeter-level accuracy.

Your Recovery Roadmap (The PCL Protocol)

PCL recovery is specialized because the graft must be protected from gravity pushing the shinbone backward.

  • Phase 1 (Week 0-6): Use of a dynamic PCL brace; restricted weight-bearing to protect the graft.
  • Phase 2 (Month 2-4): Intensive Knee Physiotherapy focusing on quadriceps strengthening.
  • Phase 3 (Month 9+): Functional sports drills and a gradual Return to Play.
